FAQ CATEGORY - UNDERSTANDING MY FEDERAL CASE - OTHER FEDERAL PRE-TRIAL MATTERS
What happens if I am accused of violating one or more of my pretrial release conditions?

If you are accused of violating your pretrial release conditions, the court will hold a hearing regarding the alleged violation and may either place you in custody, modify the conditions of your release, or take no action at all.  The judge must find probable cause that you committed a new crime or clear and convincing evidence that you violated a condition of your release before revoking your release.  Then either the court on its own motion or the prosecutor may move to forfeit your bond.
